1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

PVC-441 murine leukemia virus (MuLV) is a member of the PVC group of Friend MuLV (F-MuLV)-derived neuropathogenic retroviruses. In order to determine the molecular basis for the difference in neuropathogenicity between PVC-441 and the previously characterized PVC-211 MuLVs, the entire nucleotide sequence of PVC-441 MuLV was determined and compared with those of PVC-211 and F-MuLV. The results suggest that PVC-441 and PVC-211 MuLVs were formed as a result of random mutations of F-MuLV and developed differently. The distinct pathogenicities of PVC-441 and PVC-211 MuLVs were maintained in the viruses regenerated from their molecular clones, and the sequences responsible for the pathological differences observed can be localized to the env gene. The amino acid sequence of PVC-441 deduced from its nucleotide sequence revealed a number of differences from PVC-211, the most striking of which was a difference at position 129 of the SU proteins in the two viruses. Host range studies with a brain capillary endothelial cell line (RTEC-6) and Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-K1) revealed that PVC-441, like PVC-211, could infect these cells but its efficiency of infection was lower than that of PVC-211. These results may account for the difference in neuropathogenicity between PVC-441 and PVC-211.
